A three-year-old girl fell into a 150-foot-deep borewell, with NDRF and SDRF teams deployed to rescue her, officials confirmed.

The incident took place in the Kotputli-Behror district of Rajasthan, northern India on December 23.

Visuals show the young girl stuck in the borewell, her hand moving in response to a camera and oxygen pipe lowered to supply air.

According to reports, “The teams from NDRF, SDRF, and the administration are working tirelessly on the rescue operation. We’ve placed a ring below the girl and are hopeful of rescuing her soon. There has been no deterioration in her condition,” said Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) Brajesh Choudhary. SDRF Sub-Inspector Ravi Kumar noted the challenges posed by the surrounding soil. “The soil is compacted due to moisture, making it difficult to dig further. Despite these obstacles, we’re doing everything we can, though we can’t yet estimate how long it will take,” he added.

Reportedly, the incident occurred around 1:30 pm yesterday when Chetna, on her way home from school, stopped to play near the borewell with her sister. The tarpaulin covering the borewell was removed, and Chetna fell inside. Initially, she stopped at a depth of 15 feet but then fell further to 150 feet after being briefly pulled up by her family. The borewell dug two days ago, reaches a depth of about 700 feet. There are no pipes inside, as they were removed due to a lack of water.

The rescue operation is currently underway to save the life of the 3.5-year-old girl, who has been trapped in the 700-foot borewell for over 20 hours.
